OSPF design example. An OSPF hierarchical design minimizes routing table entries and keeps the impact of any topology changes contained within a specific area.

The Hello protocol is used to discover neighbors, establish adjacencies, and maintain relationships with other OSPF routers. Hello packets are periodically sent out each enabled OSPF interface and in environments that support multicast.

LSA update multicast addresses Network Type Multicast Address Description Point-to-point 224. 0. 0. 5 All. SPFRouters Broadcast 224. 0. 0. 6 All. DRouters Point-to-multipoint NA NA The network type determines the multicast address used for sending updates. Table 9. 2 contains the multicast addresses associated with LSA flooding. Pointto-multipoint networks use the adjacent router’s unicast IP address.

Enbling OSPF The easiest and also least scalable way to configure OSPF is to just use a single area. Doing this requires a minimum of two commands. The first command used to activate the OSPF routing process is as follows: Router(config)#router ospf ? <1 -65535> Process ID A value in the range from 1 to 65, 535 identifies the OSPF process ID.

Configuring OSPF areas Here’s an example of basic OSPF basic configuration for you, showing our 2 nd minimum command needed, the network command: Router#config t Router(config)#router ospf 1 Router(config-router)#network 10. 0 0. 255 area ? <0 -4294967295> OSPF area ID as a decimal value A. B. C. D OSPF area ID in IP address format Router(config-router)#network 10. 0 0. 255 area 0 The areas can be any number from 0 to 4. 2 billion. Don’t get these numbers confused with the process ID, which ranges from 1 to 65, 535.

Wildcard example In this scenario, you have a router with these four subnets connected to four different interfaces: 192. 168. 10. 64/28 192. 168. 10. 80/28 192. 168. 10. 96/28 192. 168. 10. 8/30 All interfaces need to be in area 0, so it seems to me the easiest configuration would look like this: Test#config t Test(config)#router ospf 1 Test(config-router)#network 192. 168. 10. 0. 0. 255 area 0 Let’s create a separate network statement for each interface using the subnet numbers and wildcards. Test#config t Test(config)#router ospf 1 Test(config-router)#network 192. 168. 10. 64 0. 0. 0. 15 area 0 192. 168. 10. 80 0. 0. 0. 15 area 0 192. 168. 10. 96 0. 0. 0. 15 area 0 192. 168. 10. 8 0. 0. 0. 3 area 0

Sample OSPF wildcard configuration Here’s the OSPF configuration using wildcards: Lab_A#config t Lab_A(config)#router ospf 1 Lab_A(config-router)#network 192. 168. 10. 64 0. 0. 0. 7 area 0 Lab_A(config-router)#network 10. 255. 80 0. 0. 0. 3 area 0 The Lab A router is using a /29, or 255. 248, mask on the Fa 0/0 interface. This is a block size of 8, which is a wildcard of 7. The G 0/0 interface is a mask of 255. 252—block size of 4, with a wildcard of 3. Notice that I typed in the subnet number, not the interface IP address.

Our new network layout

Adding a non-OSPF network to LA router We can use the same command that we did under that routing process here as well! Take a look: LA(config)#router ospf 100 LA(config-router)#passive-interface fast. Ethernet 0/1 I added this command as an example on interface Fa 0/1, which happens to be an interface we’re not using in this network because I want OSPF to work on my other router’s interfaces.

OSPF router ID (RID) The RID is not only used to advertise routes, it’s also used to elect the designated router (DR) and the backup designated router (BDR). These designated routers create adjacencies when a new router comes up and exchanges LSAs to build topological databases.
